Chapter 282 Homeland
"With your good words, I'm really going to go into the mountains in two days, try my luck, and see if I can get some sheep back," Zhang Chi said with a smile.

Old Xu immediately said happily: "Go, have to go!"

"Are you really not going?" Zhang Chi smiled and said, "Why don't you come with me?"

Zhang Chi just said the following words casually, and after he finished speaking, Zhang Chi himself regretted a bit, and thought to himself what would happen if the old boy really went with him.

But Old Xu just shook his head directly, and continued: "It's still the same as above, if I go in, it will be a burden. You let me build some houses, but I will be a waste who doesn't understand anything if I enter the old forest. That's not light. The money is divided, let’s forget it, God dropped a pie for me once, how can he keep throwing pies on my head?"

Old Xu can think clearly and see clearly.

Zhang Chi now feels that he really admires Old Xu. How can ordinary people bear it? It’s strange that he won hundreds of thousands of dollars for nothing and doesn’t feel that his luck is invincible, and Old Xu is just such a weirdo. .

Continuing to drink, Lao Xu asked Zhang Chi what he planned to do.

Zhang Chi said: "I'm going to take people into the mountains, with Cannon and Brian. Anyway, the ranch doesn't need anyone to manage it at this time. I'll go for three or four days and come back if there is really no movement."

You must bring people with you, otherwise thousands of cows will be 'picked up' by Zhang Chi, how can you rush them back, Zhang Chi alone does not have such ability.

"Why don't you keep Cannon, and I'll ask Colorado to send two cowboys over to help?" Melika said.

Melika is not interested in going into the mountains to find any cows, and she doesn't have any hope that Zhang Chi can find cows, but since Zhang Chi wants to do this, as his wife, she doesn't want to make a sound to stop it, let alone stop it. Don't want to hold him back.

Although she doesn't support it, Melika still wants her husband to be happy when he goes out to play, without worrying about the situation of the ranch.

correct!

In Melika's mind, her husband's going out this time is just for fun, and looking for cattle is just an excuse to play.

She didn't say it because she felt that if you said something, it meant that your EQ was low. Between people, no matter how good a couple is, they can't support you to make things worse.

The smart Melika didn't think about controlling Zhang Chi, she felt that Zhang Chi should be given enough space, as long as what Zhang Chi wanted to do was not wrong, then she would encourage him instead of tearing him down from behind.

The three chatted while drinking until after nine o'clock, when another bottle of wine came out of Zhang Chi's house, and then Lao Xu finished drinking.

The drink was really good. Old Xu lay motionless on the table, his little snoring loudly.

Zhang Chi didn't drink much, he only counted the first bottle of twos and threes, and he drank this amount of wine from the beginning to the end.

Melika drank a lot, but Melika felt that her drinking capacity had increased these days. After drinking a catty or two of liquor, she walked a little sluggishly, and nothing else happened.

Zhang Chi drove Lao Xu into his car and put him directly in the car.

Zhang Chi doesn't want Lao Xu to sleep in his own house, if this kid vomits, he won't have to clean it, and when he gets in his own car, it has nothing to do with our old Zhang.

After sending Lao Xu into his car, Zhang Chi passed the construction site. The workers hadn't finished work yet, and they were building a few denim dormitories.

The cowboy dormitory is very simple, similar to the domestic prefabricated houses, square, with a square head and square brain. Of course, it is more insulated than the prefab houses, otherwise, the winter on the ranch can freeze people to death.

Now the workers are making insulation foam for the wall. This stuff is like pulp, and it sticks to the wooden boards when it is punched out. After a while, a layer of foam formed and filled the entire wooden lattice.

"Chapter Boss".

When the workers saw Zhang Chi, they smiled and greeted Zhang Chi.

Everyone saw that Zhang Chi was very enthusiastic. It was the same sentence. Everyone ate the beef delivered by Zhang Chi. They ate beef in a different way. How could there be such treatment on the construction site before.

If they see that Zhang Chi is not enthusiastic, do they still have a conscience?

"Go to bed early, everyone has worked hard this night."

Zhang Chi pretended to say something.

Who doesn't know that what Zhang Chi said doesn't work. The workers work so hard not to make more money. They don't calculate their money by the day, but by the workload. Take the share together, that is, how much is this project, and after everyone completes it, what percentage of the money will be shared among everyone.

You say this kind of work, can the workers still be motivated?Isn't that nonsense, everyone came out to make money, could it be that they really wanted to eat the big cake drawn by the boss.

There is no way in China, but who in the United States will eat your big pie?The trade union is powerful, and it will never be merciless to deal with some unscrupulous bosses.

"It's okay, just live at this point."

A worker who was spraying foaming agent said to Zhang Chi with a smile.

"The dormitory here is almost ready?" Zhang Chi asked.

The worker said: "There is not much work for a few days. Waiting for the wall to be roofed will take less than a day. Everyone can build it up and fix it. There is no such thing as a tornado, and there is no need for such complicated methods outside, as long as the snow can slide down smoothly."

This is a mountainous area. Except for heavy snow and rain, extreme weather such as tornadoes and typhoons really does not affect this place.

The terrain of the United States is flat, and the arable area is much larger than that in China, but one disadvantage is that the north of the United States is unobstructed, the Rocky Mountains are in the west, and the Appalachian Mountains are in the east. Both of them are north-south. So there is no air flow at all.

In this way, the cold air formed in the North Pole can be directly swept into the land of the United States, and the warm air from the Gulf of Mexico can also be directly directed at the land of the United States. Tornadoes are produced, so the Great Plains in the central United States is also called the Tornado Corridor.

Of course, this has nothing to do with Zhangchi Ranch. Being in the Rocky Mountains, tornadoes cannot be rolled up, and only blizzards can visit here.

"Okay, pay attention to rest," Zhang Chi said with a smile.

After wandering around the construction site for a while, Zhang Chi turned to his new house. The foundation of the new big house is being prepared. This time, it is not a simple cement column, but grouting, so that the whole house can be firm, and the small house and The foundation of a large house cannot be the same.

Now the foundation part is almost finished. Not only that, but there is also a reserved space next to it. If you want to add a cover in the future, you can just construct it directly.

Under Melika's plan, the house can be expanded into a ten-bedroom house, and if more are added, it can be expanded to fifteen bedrooms.

Zhang Chi didn't think it was necessary, as he and his wife wouldn't come here often, and with so many rooms, would it be possible to have a football team?

That's not a joke.

There are so many little boys in the house, so is that house still home? It will no longer be a vegetable market, and there will be no peace for a moment.

Now the foundation is being laid with wooden planks for the first time. They are said to be wooden planks. They are really thick. Each one is about [-] centimeters thick, and they are all treated with anti-corrosion treatment. The joints are still made of metal. pin buckle, bolt.

As a layman like Zhang Chi, he felt that the house he built was much stronger than the first one he built.

This house does not fill with foaming agent, but directly uses wood. The thick wood is buckled together with grooves, and natural caulk is used between the seams, mixed with twine and squeezed into the seams, not to mention the wind. Yes, even if the typhoon blows against it, there will be no feeling in the house.

Melika is very concerned about the house, and uses solid wood for a large area of ​​the wall. Of course, this also caused the cost of the house to double somersaults.

But Zhang Chi didn't care, and Melika didn't care either. The couple's current money could fully support such a project. The most important thing was that the new ranch they wanted to buy was not bought.

Look here, look there, and finally Zhang Chi returned to the house.

Melika was lying on the bed flipping through the video, and when she saw Zhang Chi came back, she asked, "Where did you go?"

"Looking at the construction site, I found that the construction was quite fast," Zhang Chi said with a smile.

Melika looked at Zhang Chi and said, "What you asked for must be completed in July. If others don't do it, how can it be completed?"

"My fault, my fault" Zhang Chi said with a smile.

After speaking, Zhang Chi went to the bathroom to take a shower, and then lay down on the bed.

Melika looked at the tablet for a while, then turned around and saw Zhang Chi lying beside her and wandering, so she put down the tablet in her hand: "What are you thinking about?"

"I'm thinking about the past. I used to think about making money to take over my parents. I thought it would take a long time to complete the idea, but who knew it would be realized so soon," Zhang Chi said with a little emotion.

"Do they like living here?" Melika asked.

Having never been with Zhang Chi's parents, Melika is a little worried. She thinks she has no problem, but there are some things that she doesn't think are all right.

There are thousands of people in this world, and some people can't even be called human beings. Although Zhang Chi's parents are not unreasonable, standing in Melika's position, they must be worried.

Mother-in-law and father-in-law want to come to live in their own house, and they have to rejoice, which is probably not possible in a normal country now.

"I really want them to stay for a while, but they can't like it here. They are unaccompanied here. They are almost like going to jail. Let alone this, they don't even want to go to the county town," Zhang Chi said with a smile.

For the elderly, the words "difficult to leave their homeland" are not for nothing.

In the past, Zhang Chi’s elder sister said that everyone would move to the county town. In this case, she would be able to take care of her nearby, but the elderly did not agree at all. Grandparents were even more stubborn. Even if they died, they would die in their hometown. Bury it in the ancestral grave nearby.

Melika doesn't quite understand this kind of homeland plot, because it seems that Westerners don't care about it, and wherever they go, they become their homeland, but this does not prevent Melika from letting out a sigh of relief.
